Hello
I already know the following:

In one month's time
In two months' time

However, where does the apostrophe go in:

In a few months time.

I'm inclined to put it after the 's' but am worried that 'a few' may be singular as in 'a number of'
Has anyone got any ideas?
 
Welcome to the forum, Diana.:-D

In a few months' time.
 
Always treat a few ____s as plural.
